Now he's applying that playbook to solve data fragmentation across every major industry, from healthcare to national security to supply chain to AI. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

  • You pick things up quickly, execute ruthlessly, and learn even faster, you're entrepreneurial, scrappy, and comfortable in zero-to-one environments
  • You break down ambiguous problems clearly, communicate actionable insights to leadership, and don't wait for permission to act
  • Low ego, high ownership, you move fluidly between the details and the bigger financial picture, and you're always willing to roll up your sleeves, no task is beneath you
  • Energized by fast-paced, early-stage environments where the function is still being built
